caption_attribution_description: English: Track map of Severe Tropical Storm Nida of the 2016 Pacific typhoon season. The points show the location of the storm at 6-hour intervals. The colour represents the storm's maximum sustained wind speeds as classified in the Saffir–Simpson scale (see below), and the shape of the data points represent the nature of the storm, according to the legend below.

context_page_description: Severe Tropical Storm Nida, known in the Philippines as Severe Tropical Storm Carina, was a tropical cyclone that struck Luzon, Philippines and Guangdong, China in late July and early August respectively. The fourth named storm of the annual typhoon season, Nida formed on July 28, 2016 as a tropical depression in the Philippine Sea. Tracking generally north-northwestward, it intensified into a severe tropical storm and skirted northern Luzon before turning to the west-northwest, entering the South China Sea and intensifying further. Nida made landfall over Dapeng Peninsula in Shenzhen late on August 1 and dissipated on August 3.
context_section_description: During July 28, the Japan Meteorological Agency started to monitor a tropical depression that had developed about 1,020 km (635 mi) to the east-southeast of Manila in the Philippines. The system had a broad low level circulation center which was consolidating, with atmospheric convection developing to the north and south of the depression. The system was also located within a favorable environment for further development with low vertical wind shear and very warm sea surface temperatures. Over the next day as the system moved north-northwestwards under the influence of a subtropical ridge of high pressure, deep atmospheric convection started wrapping into the system's low level circulation center. The United States Joint Typhoon Warning Center subsequently issued a tropical cyclone formation alert during July 29, as the system rapidly consolidated further, while the global models indicated that tropical cyclogenesis would take place during the next 24 hours. During that day as the system consolidated further, both PAGASA and the JTWC initiated advisories on the system, with the former naming it Carina, while the latter classified it as 06W.
  On July 31, Nida made landfall over the area between Baggao and Gattaran of the Cagayan province in the Philippines at 13:20 PST (05:20 UTC) as a severe tropical storm. At 03:35 CST on August 2 (19:35 UTC on August 1), Nida made landfall over Dapeng Peninsula of Shenzhen, Guangdong, China as a severe tropical storm.
  In post-analysis, the JMA downgraded Nida's peak intensity to a severe tropical storm with winds of 110 km/h. However, most other agencies consider Nida a minimal typhoon at peak intensity.
